Course Content

This course covers the fundamental principles of sensors and actuators, types and classifications of sensors, transducer structures, material properties, magnetic, temperature, optical, pressure, position, and force sensors. It also includes signal processing, analog-to-digital conversion, and measurement circuits, as well as electric motors, piezoelectric, hydraulic, and pneumatic actuators. Integration of sensor data into control systems and practical applications are emphasized.

Objectives of the Course

The aim of this course is to provide students with an understanding of the fundamental principles, operating mechanisms, and roles of electronic sensors in control systems. Students learn to identify various types of sensors and actuators, apply them in circuits, and integrate them effectively into industrial applications.
